The recent passage of Arizona’s Immigration law was triggered by a drug-related shooting. The war on drugs is the other side of the immigration coin, as Markos says:

There are two broken policies here — the immigration system, which desperately needs reform, and the drug war, which is costing people their lives and essentially turning Mexico into a narco state in order to irrationally keep people from smoking freakin’ weed.

The immigration problem is not going to be solved until the war on drugs stops. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest and displayed their amazing creativity to help bring it to an end. Please help us choose the final first, second and third place winners for our contest:
